Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson play together in the next drama of Lynne Ramsay, Die, my love. And in the few public appearances they made together to promote the film, it is immediately obvious that they have a good time together.
The film is based on the novel of 2017 of the same name by Ariana Harwicz, and follows a woman named Grace (Jennifer) who goes from the city in the middle of nowhere and develops a psychosis after having a baby with her husband, Jackson (Rob).
Die, my love First in Cannes last week and already receives generalized praise and, with a lot of chatting on Jen’s performance, there have been a lot of discussions on the intimate scenes of the film. According to Deadline’s criticism, the first 10 minutes of the film cover Grace and the first year of Jackson living in their isolated house in the country, as “they make a violent love, have a child and celebrate his first birthday”.
Now, during an interview with gross, Jennifer and Robert revealed that despite “fundamentally a whole day of sex scenes on the first day” of shooting together, there was no clumsiness between them. “It was very easy and there was a kind of instant confidence,” said Jennifer, who was about four to five months pregnant during the shooting. “I mean, when you do the kind of scenes we have to do, you know, you cannot always choose your Costarres, and you don’t always feel comfortable.”
Jen said that the dynamics of herself and Rob was helped by the fact that Lynne had made them take dance lessons before the start of the shooting. “You cannot become more embarrassing,” said the winner of the Oscars, creaking to the mention of the dance. “As, it was so embarrassing, and it helped a lot. And then the first day of shooting, we were naked and we tackle like tigers.”
For his part, Rob agreed that dance lessons were quite humiliating and that it ended up being a “good idea” to shoot sex scenes on the first day. “You think you cannot become more embarrassed, and then they say to themselves:” Now, do it naked! “”, He joked, speaking of the immersion scene of the tiger. “If we did not love each other, then it becomes more and more annoying. Taking a direction when you are so naked is really funny.”
In Post-# Metoo Hollywood, there was a huge increase in the use of intimacy coordinators on movies and televisions. And when they were asked to have a professional at hand to supervise their sex scenes, Jennifer and Rob had positive things to say. “I felt safe all the time. Rob was very appropriate. I felt super safe … Almost too safe,” said Jen, while Rob joked that he was “very non -threatening” when he “pretended to be a cat”.
In addition to choreographing sex scenes and helping actors feel “safe”, Rob has also said that intimacy coordinators can be useful to have on set to navigate clumsy conversations on “technical details” to be naked to the camera. “I think the directors are sometimes a little afraid of saying, as” your body looks weird from this angle “, and if you have someone else whose specific work is to say like:” If you move a little in this direction, you will love it more “” ” THE Batman According to Star. “It’s actually very pleasant to have someone who is not embarrassed … not embarrassed to say it.”
Not only does this film seem incredible (I feel a second Oscar for J.law…), but I am absolutely obsessed with these two. We take a tour with this press tour, friends. You can watch the full interview clip here.
